Scalia Says Court Canít Be Bothered To Read Obamacare: ĎYou Really Want Us To Go Through These 2,700 Pages?í

By Amanda Peterson Beadle on Mar 28, 2012 at 4:51 pm

During the last day of Supreme Court hearings about the Affordable Care Act, the justices covered whether or not the entire law could stand if the individual mandate was struck down and the lawís expansion of Medicaid. But Justice Antonin Scalia seemed surprised that someone would have expected the justices to read the text of the health care reform law before the hearings:

JUSTICE SCALIA: Mr. Kneedler, what happened to the Eighth Amendment? You really want us to go through these 2,700 pages? (Laughter.) And do you really expect the Court to do that? Or do you expect us to ó to give this function to our law clerks? Is this not totally unrealistic? That we are going to go through this enormous bill item by item and decide each one?

Sometimes I look around and honestly believe I am living in some kind of Bizzaro Superman world when I read the stuff that gets posted there. Good post Carol.

Scalia should really break balls and subpoena Pelosi to have the law read before the court. Then when she's done say "good now we both know what's in it".

LMAO, that would be awesome....hell demand that every single network bring cameras in and broadcast it live on TV so EVERYONE would know what the hell is in this POS

"Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings..." Patrick Henry

Either that or everyone in the courtroom plus 300 million Americans would simultaneously be taking a nap.

lol, true that

They seem happiest when their every need is taken care of and their freedoms are taken away, sounds like jail would be heaven for them.
